TruBlue House Care of Barrington

Owner Bio: Dan Muhling

Owning your own home can be a burden, especially for people who are extremely
busy or who have a little trouble maintaining the home on their own. At
TruBlue, we can be your total house care manager. Whether your home service
needs are handyman, remodeling, carpentry, drywall repair, painting, fan
or light fixture replacement, deck repair and maintenance, faucet or toilet
repair, seasonal maintenance, or landscape design and maintenance, one
call does it all.

I am Dan Muhling and I own TruBlue of Barrington with the support of my
wife, Sandra, and our two daughters, Danielle and Sabrina. At TruBlue,
we offer handyman services, maid and cleaning services, landscape design
and maintenance, emergency repairs, seasonal projects, a home watch program,
a senior accessibility and safety program and more. TruBlue is a great
option for busy families and seniors who want the comforts of home without
worrying about property maintenance as well as, realtors and rental property
owners who need to quickly get homes move-in ready and keep them maintained.
We also offer commercial services for business clients. TruBlue of Barrington
serves Barrington, Inverness, Lake Zurich, Long Grove, Libertyville, Vernon
Hills, Kildeer and Buffalo Grove.

To assist those with ongoing home care needs or who want to take property
management off their plates entirely and spend more time doing the things
they love to do, TruBlue recently rolled out House Care Plus, a monthly
house care program, enabling our clients to design a menu of scheduled
services to maximize the value and functionality of their homes. Clients
choose from a menu of services based on their individual circumstances
such as scheduled replacement of sump pumps, furnace filters, water filters,
smoke detector and alarm panel batteries, preventative maintenance geared
toward avoiding costlier repairs down the road, seasonally appropriate
inspection items, maid services, landscape design and maintenance, snow
removal and more. While these services are great for anyone, they are
especially helpful for seniors who want to age in place in a safe and
comfortable home as well as busy families and those caring for older family members.

I’ve had a varied career – I grew up on a large farm and worked
as a car and heavy truck master mechanic after graduating high school.
After saving up enough for college, I earned my undergraduate degree in
finance and went into banking. I moved from Detroit to the Chicago area
and spent the last 25 years of my career working in finance, including
commercial banking, derivative structuring and sales, private equity and
mezzanine investing, and served in CEO and Board of Director roles.

I retired from finance, but I missed interacting with people, leading a
team and making an impact. I started looking into multiple franchise opportunities
and TruBlue struck a chord with me. I’ve always been handy at home
and have done some renovation work, however, TruBlue allows me to expand
beyond just being a handyman company. At TruBlue, we aren’t a mill
trying to fill our schedule with $200 jobs that we just need to finish
and move to the next house. We are working to build relationships with
our clients, which means the customer service experience is completely
different. We want you to have an excellent experience with whatever work
we do for you so, next time, you need home services you call us. That
makes a difference. Contact me today and let’s talk about how we
can work together to give you back your weekends and help you love your
home again.
